No matter how hard I try
I can’t get past, missing you
It has become all too familiar
Like that moment in time, just before
Everything that matters- changes
The gravity of reality was too much
To bear even for my reluctant tears
And like my heart, they fell, splattered
“I miss you” couldn’t begin to cover
The raw scars left in your place
To accompany those moments
I’ve regrettably have come to hate:
A plethora of moments before
Cruelly subsequence your departure
Before I learned my invincibility
Was found cloaked in your arms
Before I knew your love for me
Could touch so deep- within
Before the taste of your lips
Would become my only hunger
Before the pain that now defines me
Reminds me, I simply can’t endure
Before every bound memory of you
Also binds all happiness I’ve known
Even now my brave tears cling
To the endless redness of my eyes
And like that micro moment before
Dawn blushes color of the next horizon
I feel your cold absence…ever more

Does it always hurt that bad?

The degree of hurt in my mind is subject to the the degree of love one gives.
